“…A growing body of literature describes barriers to accessibility and universal design (e.g., wheelchair maneuverability) related to architectural features in community settings, such as homes, offices, and parks and other public places (Gossett, Mirza, Barnds, & Feidt, 2009;Koontz, Brindle, Kankipati, Feathers, & Cooper, 2010;Rantakokko et al, 2010). This parallel literature could be used to inform future studies of environmental barriers to physical activity in LTC homes.…”

“…For example, several personas recommended the need for access to public toilets in order to make streets and public transport more accessible. This recommendation serves the needs of many users as it was suggested by the wheelchair user, expectant mother, child and tourist, and therefore highlights the fact that by designing for the extremes of user needs a more inclusive design for all users is achieved (Gossett et al, 2009). …”

“…The universal design approach views disability as a socially constructed state due to the environmental barriers in which the user exists (Gossett et al, 2009). The same could also be said for unsustainable behaviour, which is often caused by poor design of the built environment that forces the user to engage in environmentally damaging behaviour.…”

“…Z kolei Edward Steinfield zauważa, że pojęcie uniwersalnego projektowania oznacza, iż istnieje jedno powszechnie akceptowalne rozwiązanie dla wszystkich problemów projektowych. Jego zdaniem takie twierdzenie jest utopijne, a więc nieosiągal-ne ze względu na niepodlegającą jednoznacznej delimitacji różnorodność potrzeb poszczególnych grup społecznych 51 . Projektowane zmiany stanowiące odpowiedź na potrzeby określonej części populacji osób niepełnosprawnych (i nie tylko) mogą wszakże stwarzać problemy dla innych 52 .…”
